Ask Amy: Pandemic’s long-term effect worries reader

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:45:35 GMT

Dear Amy: Do people report to you that the Covid pandemic changed them?It changed me.I thought the isolation wouldn’t bother me because I am an introverted woman. I treasure my solitude.There were times when I didn’t see another human being for a week or 10 days.I went only to the store and the library just to see another human being and chat for a minute or two. That seemed to suffice — after all, for two years that person walking toward me might be carrying a disease that could kill me.I remember thinking it’s as though I am in a spaceship that keeps circling the Earth, and I can’t land.Well, now I have landed, and I find that I am less tolerant than I used to be, and a lot more cynical.My compassion for others has descended to a new low.I have dropped a couple of long-term friendships because I couldn’t bear the other person’s neediness. It was as if I was for years wearing rose-colored glasses, but they fell off and now I see the world differently.I am active again in an a...

EU welcomes Japan joining the multi-party interim appeal arbitration arrangement

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:45:35 GMT

The EU welcomes Japan's decision to join the multi-party interim appeal arbitration arrangement (MPIA), which is open to all World Trade Organization (WTO) members. The MPIA is an alternative, stop-gap system for resolving WTO disputes, anchored in the WTO Agreement, set up by the EU and key partners, pending the restoration of a reformed WTO dispute settlement system. Including Japan, 26 WTO members currently participate in the MPIA.Existing WTO rules, which still govern the majority of our trade, are our best guardrail against global economic fragmentation. The EU therefore has a fundamental strategic interest in a strong and reformed WTO, and we must continue leading efforts to reform it.Japan's decision, along with that of other MPIA members, confirms the commitment of leading WTO players to the organisation's dispute settlement system and the rules that that system enforces. It is also a strong sign of support for the restoration of a reformed and fully functioning dispute sett...

Unlucky Louie has raised nine kids. He says it’s a sign of maturity when they realize that the volume knob also turns counterclockwise. It’s a sign of maturity at bridge when you don’t rush to draw trumps.At today’s four spades, South betrayed a streak of immaturity when he won the first heart with the ace and let the queen of trumps ride. When East won and returned a heart, the defense got the minor-suit aces plus a heart trick.CLUB WINNERA more mature — and less impatient — declarer surveys the situation before he plays a card. South has a possible loser in each suit but can set up a club winner to pitch a heart from dummy. He must do that promptly: If he loses an early trump finesse, the defense will gain time.South wins the first heart in dummy, saving the ace as an entry to his hand, and leads a club to his king. East wins the next club and returns a heart, but South wins and discards dummy’s last heart on the high club. Then he can lea...
